About The Book
Carol Grove chronicles Englishman Henry Shaw's remarkable story, from his early love of plants to his rising social conscience and his determined quest to create a place of unsurpassed beauty and distinction that would educate and thereby improve Americans. Beautifully illustrated with contemporary and historical photographs, this volume offers an insightful cultural history of Shaw's landscapes at the Missouri Botanical Garden and Tower Grove Park, among the most important examples of the gardenesque in America.
